Turning Inward

This book comprises a selection of texts by international artists, critics, and curators. It aims to analyze the relationship between centers and peripheries in contemporary art worlds. In the context of advanced globalization, the distributed agency of networked power structures can no longer be localized in geographical terms; but if we turn our attention away from such horizontal relations, we can conceive of the central and peripheral as vertical phenomena that can coexist spatially in the shapes of social constructions, genealogies, or epistemic formations.

Turning Inward is a compilation of critical reflections upon contemporary art from multiple dimensions, regarding the modes of production, distribution, and consumption. the positions reach far beyond the spatial metaphor and touch on various fields such as art history, philosophy, economics, gender studies, urbanism, language, and education.
